Carrara
Carrara is a city famous for the white or blue-gray marble quarried there. It is on the Carrione river, some 100 km west-northwest of Florence.

History

The municipality of Carrara was first established in 1235.
Over the centuries it was ruled by Pisa (1235), Lucca (1322), Genoa (1329) and Milan (1343). After the death of Filippo Maria Visconti of Milan in 1477, Carrara was fought over by Tommaso Campogregoso, lord of Sarzana, and the Malaspina family.
Carrara and Massa formed the Duchy of Massa and Carrara from the 15th to the 19th century.
